Web Administration Users

Access to the Web Administration feature is available only to users specified as administration users in the access list. You specify each administration user with a separate ADMUSER entry in the access list:

ADMUSER=userid

You can specify any user ID that is already defined to your security subsystem (or will be subsequently defined). This includes user IDs that are already defined for access to TSO, IMS, CICS or other z/OS subsystems. When an administration user enters a user ID and password on the Web Administration sign-on page, Mainframe Access calls the security subsystem to authenticate the user by verifying that the password supplied is valid for that user. If the security subsystem rejects the password the user is denied access to the Web Administration home page.

Here is an example:

ADMUSER=ANNZ
ADMUSER=BRUCEY

All Web Administration sign-on requests from these users are accepted if they are accompanied by their current passwords as maintained by the security subsystem. A sign-on request from CHRISW (or any other user), even when accompanied by a valid password, is denied access to Web Administration.
